Bought VPS...

[Test4rN]

Hello there. I just bought a VPS and when the payment was completed they asked me to copy front and back of my government issued ID.. Why do I have to do that? I feel very insecure on this...

Hosting company's do this to avoid fraud orders and chargebacks.

Who did you purchase a VPS with? OVH?

EDIT: This is in the wrong section, should be better suited in Technology

I bought a VPS from Hostek. They will not proceed with setting up my order until I do this. Should I do it?

@Test4rN it's only to protect them. No viable hosting company will release your information to anyone. However the decision is yours, be aware if you're using it for illegal activity they may forward your ID to authorities.

Okay thanks for your quick answer! I was just a little insecure on this but now I understand.

No problem. Any information you give is always at your discretion but I don't see them using your ID outside of its requirement.

If I've answered your question you can request a moderator to mark it as the best answer and close the thread, you can like the post too.

Shouldn't had bought it from xznetworks.com, if you want to host a retro.

I wonder if they would still provide refunds upon cancellation.
